Title: Microsoft Internet Explorer Navigate Function Cross Frame Access Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
The Navigate function in IE does not properly validate origin domains.
Therefore it is possible for a remote webserver to gain read access to local files on the machine of any website visitor or email recipient by accessing the browser object of a frame containing local content. The path and name of the file must be known by the attacker.
Affected Products:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.1
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.1 SP1
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 SP1
- Microsoft Windows ME
